Homeskoolin’ Saturday Pedal Shootout For Nobels Lovers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2023
- Hello lads and lasses…the kind folks at Nobels were kind enough to send me a 30th anniversary ODR-1 Overdrive pedal to try out, so I thought I would give it a swing.
Tell me what you think.
I realize this subject matter has been perhaps flogged on a bit too much in the past, but I still get a million questions regarding ODR-1s, so there must still be people wondering...so here we are,
The sweet lads at Nobels asked me for a short quote so I will say this:
“I am extremely proud to be a long time card carrying member of the Nobels family, the finest overdrive pedals ever made”
Not to speak for the masses, but I seriously doubt anyone who follows your channel feels overwhelmed by your vids...keep em coming Unc! Awesome as usual!
@Skyecracker, you said it better than I could. If Tom put out 5 vids a day, I'd watch. He always imparts a positive vibe, a dose of knowledge, and stuff that makes me think. I never met Tom, but I feel like I've known him since we were youngins. To say I have mad respect for him is an understatement. He's the real deal holyfield and brings us outsiders into the heart of the pro end of the music business. For me, it's fascinating. I'm not a brown noser in any way. If I didn't like and appreciate Tom's uploads, I simply wouldn't watch. Cheers Larry, and thanks for starting homeskool my brother.
Agreed. I can’t watch all the videos as they happen, but I want them all to be there when I am ready. This is going to be looked back on as an absolute textbook for guitarists. Wish this had existed when I was 15.
😂😂😂 I however am overwhelmed. I found his channel when he was about 2 years deep... I can't fucking catch up...😂😂😂
Speak for the masses. You ain’t lying.
@@frankelias1952 Frank, that's the true beauty of a channel like Tom's. You can watch at your own pace. I go back and re watch a bunch of his uploads over and over. The knowledge bombs he drops are subtle and so good.
Dear Tom, we did listen to comments (especially from You) when creating our golden "NewBalls" ODR-1 and we are very happy that the 30th Anniversary could please your ears. Yes, my retail "No1 Music Center" had been next street to Star Club and Kaiserkeller and Indra in Hamburg (where the Beatles started their career in 1960). All the best. Bernhard - Nobels Originator
Love the new 30th anniversary version Bernhard. Well done. This shootout is proof for anyone that this new version holds its own amongst all the 90s originals (and the Vemuram Shanks too). Well done 👍
Dude…the 30th Gold keeps up! $160 is much better than $2k 😂
No such thing as over posting for Home Skoolers.
Hi Unk Today;s party at George's was gold. Vince is a crackup. The rapid fire bits of guitar lore was vast and appreciated. It was like taking a PhD in Guitar history and construction. I felt immediately smarter. Imagine if you could download George's brain. He's a national treasure.
Ended up buying a 30th anniversary Nobles you’re 100% right I don’t even like overdrive pedals This thing is absolutely unbelievable. Makes my clean channel sound on par with some of the best overdriven tones I’ve ever had
I think the Gold 30th anniversary sounds just as great as the other two. Nobels also confirmed on their instagram that the 30th anniversary gold one is the 1993 circuit - not the newer circuit. So it's the real deal, and hearing it back to back sounds great to me.
You can never post too much stuff. I’m always searching for your latest videos. Love this stuff man. Keep em coming.
All the content you’ve been making has been awesome. I wish you could post this much everyday but we all know you have a busy life.
Thank you bro
The only thing that would have been better when you were at Gruhn's was if we heard from you and Vince More
Oh by the way this is just my opinion and I'm not complaining and Mr gruhn is a legend. But listening to him was like listening to the middle part of a Def Leppard song
Keep the Videos coming, I'll watch all day.
You can never overpost Uncle Larry
Keep the content coming! I’ve now watched all three and am a happy man. ❤
Always look forward to what your into or testing or just sitting there playing love that you share your time and talent
Never too many videos. Always a pleasure grasping knowledge from the Professor Uncle Larry.
I haven't even watched this yet and already I know it's going to be a good time. Always love Larry's take on gear.
The video I’ve been waiting on! Thanks for the comparison, think I’ll be grabbing one as soon as I can find one!!
I love your humility and all the vids. Can't post too many for us!
Getting crazy on a Saturday night bathed in the kitchen neon glow. There's never too many posts Larry ! These recent clips have been great. Thank you so much Uncle L ! Wishing you all the best on your wagers tomorrow ! With Gratitude - John
It is incredible how differently each of the Nobles sound, even with the same settings.... THANKS BUK!!!
Nobels ODR-1 +1 works by itself and plays really well with others. Tanks Unca Larry for the cool videos across the spectrum
I'm perfectly whelmed by all the videos!
Dear Tom, your Gruhn video awakes good old memories. We bought from George Gruhn in the 70s, created guitar models with him in the 80s (Hohner Professional) and hosted him at his first visit to Germany at Frankfurt Musik Messe. George showed up (in the well-heated hall) at our No1-booth in a thick lumberjack coat, a "cact-tie" and rabbit fur shoes "they told me it is cold in Germany". Great explanation from Jeff how The Unions work. Waiting for more of your great videos. Thank you. Bernhard - Nobels Originator
Thank you Bernhard for giving the world such an amazing pedal. We appreciate it greatly 🙏💚
amen
good stuff all. makes my heart glad. keep on truckin.
Never too much!! Keep it coming!!
If it sounds good on a phone speaker it will sound incredible in the flesh.
There can never be enough Larry videos.
Thank you.🎉
I just picked up the Nobels mini and man I love that little pedal! I've never tried the big ones.
Never too many Uncle Larry videos, keep 'em coming man
Don't apologize for uploading! We love all the videos!... almost as much as we love that propped up card of the Juice 😎
Since before C19 and after... there has not been a second where I thought... 'too many videos'... watched every second. Keep'em coming Uncle Larry
I just my 30th anniversary Nobels yesterday and it’s awesome! I’m running everything at noon including the bass knob. I tried it also with the bass knob full on and it is not my preference, but with the bass at 12:00 it sounds sweet. 😊
all the nobels pedals sounded great through my old ears. the video description summed it up well. HOMESKOOLIN!
I think the floor Nobels retains more of the natural guitar sound. It enhances the guitar, and it is really even sounding for sure. The old on the table is really close to that too. I'm not sure if you pushed the one on the floor more but it was bad ass for sure!!! I really appreciate ALL the videos and time and effort you put into this. I look forward to EVERYONE!!! You really are
an awesome heartfelt person. Thanks again!!!!
Thanks for the burst shots! Pretty dramatic.
As always, thanks for your time and wisdom!
I like the one that rolls off the bass. Uncle Larry, the 501chorusecho channel is a treasure chest of how you have transformed the guitar on many levels. I speak for the singer songwriter subscribers who have learned so much from you. We'll never be shredders but you've made us better. Have a good evening.
Enjoyed the hell out of the video!!!
Also liked the video with Otis Gibbs !!
Dude, you could post 20 times a day and I wouldn't be mad at ya! Thanks for all the awesome content duder!
Keepin the faith of " it's Saturday and lets get a little crazy", I listened on my tiny little phone speaker. I like to live a little. So yeah, I can't hear any difference. But you, the pedals, amp and the beater old guitar sound real good. And the comedy lately has been on par. Happy Holidays Tom.
I pick up a Nobels Limited Edition last year when they built 2000 of a special run which has the bass cut on - off switch (no pot) inside the battery compartment in special green color... all because of you! It does sound great!
The more I’m hearing Tom’s older Nobels the more I’m hearing what he is saying about the newer models and other gain boxes sounding more like pedals whereas the older Nobels sound more like an amp/ amp channel.
There is a natural blending ability that they seem to have.
I do like how the 30th anniversary and think it does a good job in holding its own against the older Nobels. I also like the 30th anniversary’s ability to fine tune the bass versus a preset cut switch.
Never enough vids from you. You’re always what I look for first on RUclips.
I though the one on the floor sounded best.
One more thing… I remember being 16, getting high and putting Close To The Edge on my parents console record player and zoning out. Good times and good days. It’s wonderful how music has the power to bring us back to certain moments in our lives.
Your pal in Boston, Darin
Over posting, come on dude! Nobody is forcing us lol. Love it.
Finally, some pedals for old dudes! LOL! I think I would take any of the pedals in this video and have a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for the comparison! To my ears, both older ones had a certain amount of "mellow wooliness" whereas the new one had a crispier edge. Granted, this is with youtube compression, iPhone mic, and my playback set. Thanks again, Tom!!
Larry's a sweetheart. Never to many vid9s from my favorite uncle !!
Just bought the 30th, partially due to this video so thank you Tom ❤
Awesome Tom buddy 3 vids today is perfect & as you know I have a soft spot for pedals 😊 .. soft spot for Nobels too & as well our mutual friend Robert's new pedal ... the burst looked fantastic ... but it still does with all the miles on now ! best BV 🙂
Always enjoy Hearing from you. You're always welcome to drop by from cyberspace. Thanks again for taking the time to share your wit and wisdom.
What a nice Les Paul!!! I just bought the green Nobels a couple of weeks back, great pedal!
Whenever Uncle Larry says “mystery board“ there needs to be a science-fiction sound effect.
Great stuff as always.
Your fingers and swing makes them all sound great !!!
We can never get enough Uncle Larry, don't ever feel bad for posting a ton!
both sound great the same I like the bass cut option on the anniversary!
The iPhone is just fine. It’s one of the unique features of your show Tom. Talking music, guitars and gear etc is my cuppa tea.
Thank the Lord for distortion.🤘
Thanks uncle Larry!
That’s melody at 3:05 is the shit I’m here for. Makes me want to hunt out more Melodie’s myself. I just bought the 30th anniversary one but yours in the floor is fucking wicked!
Tom, there’s a lot of things I love about your playing, but I especially love your vibrato. The 30th anniversary Nobels sounds great! It sounds very similar to the old one on the left, but the original on the floor has more clarity through my cheap ass iPhone speaker.
Sounds really good!
Keep the videos coming. Gives something for me to binge if I can’t keep up. I couldn’t hear the difference, maybe need to be in the room. And those scammers reached out to me, but I figured it out quickly.
Love the fadeout shot!
You are not over posting! I don't mind speaking for others when I say we love it!
Keep them coming!
Love the Nobels pedal!
It’s cool to hear iPhone videos for more realistic portrayals of tone instead of all the DAW polished mixes! 😉✌🏻
Wonderful Uncle Larry, like so many, we will take all the sharing you are willing to offer. To my ears, the original No-Balls have a bigger, rounder sound. A couple of years ago i bought one of the new ones. While i am sure it is not the same as the original, nevertheless, like you have said, it feels and sounds more like an overdriven amp than just a pedal. Its my go to OD. Thanks for this comparison.
Keep them coming Uncle Larry!
ahhhh goldies killin the NEW greenie imho..The 30th aniversary snds more like ORIGINAL one clearer in mids n bass
Thank you very much
I enjoy them, Thanks!
My thoughts are this: Tom is one of the coolest cats to suck oxygen. The ODR-1 is the greatest overdrive made. I want one of the 30th Anniversary model and it is on my Christmas List and I pray my wife gets one before they are gone. Last but not least Tom is the guitar player I want to be when I grow up (I am 42 now so maybe by around 65ish I will be half way there)! Keep blowing up RUclips Tom with the videos!!!
fantastic matey keep them coming :)
Hey Buko. Did you get a haircut? As Dennis Eckersley would say, the lettuce looks good!
Please don’t ever apologize for too many videos Bro! No such thing. I think you underestimate how much joy you bring to us with your incredible playing and irreverent humor.
Your pal in Boston, Darin
Keep’em coming! Guitars, cooking, kids, friends, Gruhns, - it’s all good.
Great old picture of the burst! I really like the new Nobles, sounds serviceable to me.
Too many videos??? Never!!! There’s not such a thing like “too many uncle Larry’s videos”… BTW, thanks to you I bought my 1st Nobels ODR1 about 5 years ago and it never left my board since, no matter what other OD pedal I’ve added before of after it. Thanks from uncle Rudy from France!
This is fun stuff Tom, we do love it! Interesting, the "hidden" Nobels has a different mid grind.
Only one I have of these is the Shanks ODS, it has a nice clarity with similar characteristics I think
Never too much posting 😊
i wouldnt mind to hear these against the Keeley either! My gold one just came in and i absolutely love it. Big Lightspeed fan too thanks to Uncle Larry. Big Uncle Larry fan as well.
I like the new one. It sounds good, just the right amount of bite in my opinion. Thanks for the demo.👍
Glad we got to see the mailbox letter pics!
All the pedals, including the Big Jam, sound the same to me.
The old green noballs on your desk is king imo. The new one isn’t bad, but doesn’t really seem to hold up to either of your old ones. Just not as lively and more 2d sounding. Great videos Uncle Larry!
I always have time to watch your videos Tom!
Loving the recent shower of videos, Larry! Keep the tap running!
Damn i love this channel.
Lovin’ it!
The Gold ODR-1 sounds a lot like the ODR-1 that you have on the floor. I have the new Gold Nobels ODR-1 pedal and it's a touch more aggressive with a little more high end overtones than my Green ODR-1 with a bass cut switch. I like the Gold ODR-1 a bit more but I don't have an original to compare it to. I also like the bass cut knob on the Gold ODR-1. Love the videos!
IDK. I do like the bass cut for my Gretsch 6122-62, but on my 335, I just roll out the bass on the tone knob. That way, I can switch to my Strat and not have to touch it. Although, I have found that some Strats sound really boomy, especially 69 era or 70s Fender pickups.
Late to the party, Būk. The new gold sounds great and with that high pass filter, it seems like a no brainer.
I picked up a No-balls Mini after watching your “hearing test video” lol and I like it. Might head out with it to A/B against the Gold-Balls at Sanctuary in McKinney.
Thanks for the video, oh wise avuncular one. Cheers!
I love the video's! That first riff was gold! And about the Noballs' 😂 i think there not enough of a difference to matter. The bass cut is useful
Got my 30th anniversary and returned after a couple of days, I didn’t find it that different than my odr bass cut version, and I like mine very much so there was no point in keeping it.
That aside, that Vemuram sounds awesome, just like the other old ones.
Don’t apologize for the amount of videos, it compensates when you don’t post for almost a week. Keep them coming.
Ah, the Ann Wilson’s record is great, I’m liking it big time, congrats!
People who return pedals suck.
New to your channel Tom, heard 1 minute of your commentary and playing, then subscribed. Love it! By the way, I thought all sounded more lively than the Vemuram much to my chagrin. 😳
✌🏾&💜
-Seal (artist known as).
Don't worry about too many videos, it's all gold!
we love the videos!!!
Ah thanks for sharing those photos!
Hi Tom the green pedal sounds a hair more compressed, which I sort of prefer, but hay both are really awesome, high dollar love in a little creamier box , stay steady unc!!!
Awesome. Nice riff at 3:05….sounds like 2 guitars tracking. Sweet.
The old ODR-1 on the desk and the new gold one are both great, but yeah they are different. The old one on your desk seems a tiny bit warmer (I mean slightly!). The new gold one seems to be a bit more punchy, slightly more definition to the notes. I have a 90's original and a mini, the new gold one is definitely on my list. The variable BC is sweet.
Hell yeah get crazy with uncle Larry on a Saturday night!! Day 1 watcher here, never really comment. I’m in bachelor mode tonight, baking cookies and watching/playing guitar :)
man the one on the floor sounds wicked...fully organic and pure amp like..the two on the desk sound great too...out of those, i might give it to the anniversary model.
don't really know what I'm listening to, but I think I liked the one on your mystery board for some reason. Everything sounded killer, lol, but there was some mojo my ear liked about that one. Never too many videos man, none of us are going to complain.
Sweet sweet guitar tones.
Love the Gruhn's video earlier! I like both of the Nobels pedals, but they are different, and the one on your mystery board sounded best.
